Cozy Wrap Poncho - New Pattern!

I love a nice poncho or wrap, but I haven't wanted to look like Marcia Brady since 1971. Enter the Cozy Wrap Poncho, the newest pattern from Momogus Knits! It's one rectangle with one seam - easy-peasy! You can wear it with the point in front, a la Marcia, but I like to wear it with the point off to one side, oh so casually!

Adult Textured Rib in grey, Child's Garter Stitch in red

The pattern is written for two weights of yarn, bulky and super-bulky, so it's perfect outerwear on a late winter afternoon or an early spring morning. I have been known to wear the grey sample in the photo (knit in yummy superbulky Ushya yarn) all day long in my drafty old house.

There are two stitch pattern options - a simple textured rib and good old garter stitch, and there are two size options - Adult and Older Child. The shape of the poncho is so flexible it really fits a wide range of people shapes and sizes. And though I like the openness of the neck opening, I've included instructions on how to modify it to make it more close-fitting or higher or even into a turtle-neck.

Go here to purchase yours today. It's a great-looking, easy knit perfect for this time of year!
